Today, we honor a member of the LA HT Survivor Advisory Council by sharing a nugget of wisdom.
If survivors from the life continue to learn more about human trafficking every day, then how much more do we all have to learn? #stoptrafficking #nothingaboutuswithoutus

It is our privilege to fight against human trafficking alongside survivors. Survivor Voice is paramount and has been a part of our framework since we started. It is because of them and with them that we do this work.
